We should use current CVS HEAD libtool.  We definitely can't use 1.5 
releases without *a lot* of auditing of local changes: we've allowed local 
changes into GCC's libtool on the basis that there are equivalents in CVS 
HEAD (this is the policy in codingconventions.html), to use 1.5 while 
avoiding regressions would require auditing every local change since 
libtool 1.5 branched to see if it's in 1.5.22.
